WHAT MAKES US THINK?
1.
Nearly 56 % of rural houses in India do not have electricity as per the
report of World Bank page 6.
2.
Even for electrified villages, there is a tremendous shortage of power
supply. It is very common for these areas to have around 15 hours of
power cuts every day.
3.
The state electricity board provides rural areas with electricity on nonpriority basis.
4.
In electrified villages, the Panchayats spend most of their revenue by
just clearing their Electricity Board outstanding bills, which was spent in
water pumping and street lighting.
POWER SCENARIO IN WEST BENGAL
1.
Electricity generation in the state is mostly coal-based (96%) at the
Thermal Power Stations located in central and southern parts of the state
(at the “chicken’s neck” in Murshidabad and around Kolkata in Burdwan,
Hooghly and South 24 Parganas), with some hydro-power being
generated in Darjeeling district. (Source Ministry of Environment and
Forest . For details Click here page 146)
2.
Only 49 percent of the rural households have access to electricity (March,
2009) and the concerted efforts in rural electrification under the RGGVY
have been reported during 2009-’10. (Same source as Point 1)
3.
Electricity supply to rural areas will always be irregular and low since
cities themselves do not have regular supplies

THROUGH YOUR CSR “MICRO THERMAL POWER PLANT”
WHAT IS MICRO THERMAL POWER PLANT?
• It is the answer for creating “small village size power units” run and
maintained by the villagers themselves who can also meet its operating cost.
•
•
It’s sustainable and cost effective power plant.
These micro power generating units can be thermal, hydro, solar, bio-gas,
wind or any non-conventional energy source.
• Reason for choosing thermal is it is not dependant on diesel, petrol or
kerosene and operates on the steam engine principle
• The power unit is of low technology and easy to operate and maintain by
the villagers.
MICRO THERMAL POWER PLANT SPECIFICATION
•Project type: Thermal
•Fuel : Wood, Coal, Rice Husk (readily available in local areas this
fuel is used for converting water to superheated steam)
•Power Generation Capacity: 10KW
•Steam Engine of 20HP
•Alternator of 15KVA
•Boiler Steam Production Capacity - 500kg/HR
•Boiler pressure 150 pound on continuous full load of 20HP engine
•Water Tank Capacity approx 300 ltrs.
•Steam Engine Full Load (20hp)
•Steam Consumption - 400-475kg./HR

ADVANTAGES OF MICRO THERMAL POWER PROJECT
1. Village receives electric power for 24 hours whereas today they
live in complete darkness at night.
2. Children of the village can study comfortably at night like their
city brethren and compete successfully in the examinations.
3. Also it is convenient for housewives to cook at night.
ADVANTAGES OF MICRO THERMAL POWER PROJECT
4. Setting up cottage industries: Small processing units like
mustard oil, rice and flour mills can be set up to give
employment.
5. Generating Employment: Micro-thermal plant itself employs 6
workers to operate the unit round-the-clock, also since other
cottage industries can be set up it generates employment.
6. Steam engine when coupled to a water pump can be used for
irrigation of farms from underground water or river stream.

OUR IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS SNAPSHOT
Target Village: Dalbhanga in Kuchai Block of Saraikela- Kharsawan
district of Jharkhand (wood based)
Our Co-Partners: NABARD
 An Initiative by Jharkhand Alternative Development Forum (an
NGO working on alternative development models in villages)
 300 liters of water and 150 kg wood are used for 10 hours of
operation per day, which is provided by each household to
operate the steam engine of the plant.
 Plant generates 10 KW electricity, which is supplied to 150
households in the village from 5p.m to 10p.m
 It also supplies electricity for street lights and an oil mill.
 Villagers own electricity rather than beg for it.
